I could do on, but i stop here. Sorry for the wall of text. I'm having a happy moment and felt like sharing. Maybe others have equal experience, with how fantastic it is to have a real money auction house in this game.

Yeah, I was asking myself the same question. Also with regard to your signature... does it mean these characters have been used to farm that amount of money and then you discarded them (RIP is not really the right description if it's SC ;-))

And No. I do not bot or anything. Its legit made. Via trading, sniping, flipping the gold ah.

Quite impressive.. but how much did you make by actually farming? Sounds like you made most of it by playing the AH. (nothing wrong with it, just curious)

Saying around 98% is made via sniping and flipping wouldnt be incorrect. I personaly find playing the AH more fun than chain farming act 3. Always looking for the great deal, alot more fun that repeditive farming the same stuff over and over. Ofc i play some aswell, but my farming is far from my source of income.

It means ive played the character, geared them up via the money ive made working the ah. At some point they just reach to high a value. So i profit from selling the stuff and play my next class. Started out as dh at release, made my first 50 million doing act 3 with like 10k hp and zero resist, while all the poor barbs, monks and witch doctors was stuck in act1. Then at some point i cashed out and started my wizard... The later i cashed that one out and went barb, then monk, then witch doctor... hehe

There's almost nothing related with farming in those 6k € and likely you don't own just 1 account.
How fantastic is it? Errr...

I used to think that videogames were something different.
I guess I was wrong.

I only have 1 account. And farming the acution house neither gives hour or elite kills. I farm a little everyday, not much, average i guess. I enjoy the game within the game most. The game of Auction House playing, The game of making profit. I find i alot more exciting than chain farming the same stuff over and over. And the fact its 100 times more rewarding is just a bonus.

Having alot of gold, gives alot of options. Back in 1.0.3 where every barb used Life on hit, life steal weapons costed almost nothing. When the first ptr notes came, it was quiet obvious that 90% of the barbs would switch weapon from Life on Hit to Life steal. Being the bastard i am, i started grabbing every single good strength life steal weapon from the ah. Remeber they had no real value back then, due to the fact everyone used Loh. I made around 5 billion gold reselling em at 1.0.4. At some point in the middle of 1.0.4 i had to buyout around 15 echoing furies, to make sure that the ones i had sniped earlier would get a good sell price. Ended up making 50-100 mill per fury. Stuff like that i find interesting, its fun to play the market. And the fact its extremely rewarding, that just makes even more exciting.

Sometimes I wonder if people are just trolling because they realize how stupid is this argument, or really think that it makes them look cool.

Gratz, OP! Personally I have about 2500 euro + 500 euro on my char, much less than you! But I also completely missed patch 1.04 and half of 1.05, so I guess I could total about 4-4.5k if I played all along. Very impressive job!

Oh they 1000% will. paypal is forced to send information about exactly how much you make over 2500 euros yearly as a private person to the EU. Once you reach the taxing point for your country they sure will contact you...

I hate to be the guy that brings up the fact that you selfishly purchased underpriced items and manipulated the market to give yours a selling advantage for your personal gain, and thus artificially inflated the economy for whoever was purchasing your goods. But hey. "congrats"

Trolling what? If Huminator finds entertaining to play with the RMAH there are far more tools to play with with the Forex.
And I've said Forex because it's a fairly easy trading market if you know what I'm taking about.
